In fact, I can add unlimited points

"Ahem~ Hoshinomiya-sensei, it's time to teach the next class."

Shun Aragaki calmly reminded them, "The talented students in Class D are all leaving, and those who aren't talented might be expelled at any time. It's hard to say whether there will be 30 left in three years. Please stop teasing Chabashira-sensei."

Sae Chabashira: "..."

Thank you so much! You touched a nerve in front of everyone!

Hoshinomiya chuckled at this; she wanted to see Chabashira's expression—a mixture of jealousy and resentment.

It felt like turning on the air conditioner on a hot day; my whole body felt much more comfortable, and some of the depression in my heart seemed to have disappeared.

She gave Aragaki an approving look; her greatest stroke of luck after graduating from Advanced Education was probably meeting such a student.

"Then I will continue to announce the results. Next up is the third place in this exam, Class C, with a score of 440."

Shun Aragaki nodded. Because of Ryuen's withdrawal and the purchase of cameras, Class C's temporary points were reduced to 250. They guessed that the leader of Class D would get 50 points, and the final score would be 140 points from capturing the stronghold. This was the composition of Class C's score.

A gasp went up from Class D on the cruise ship. Of the three remaining classes, the worst score was 440, and Class C's class evaluation score had suddenly far surpassed that of Class D.

"It's alright, at least I don't have to worry about being overtaken by Class D and becoming the bottom of the grade."

Seeing that her classmates seemed rather listless, Ibuki Mio sighed and couldn't help but step forward to offer some words of comfort.

440 points seems like a lot, but 100 points were used to purchase supplies for Class D. According to the agreement before the exam, Shun Aragaki was to take another 150 points. In the end, because of the failure of the Ryuen operation, the 140 points gained from occupying the stronghold also had to be given away.

Based on this calculation, Class C only has 50 points that they can actually freely use.

"It's all Longyuan's fault!"

Yuya Tokito immediately stood up and criticized the former leader, saying, "If it weren't for his meddling, we wouldn't have had 50 temporary points deducted, and we could have kept our base points. That way, we could have increased our monthly living expenses by 24,000 yen."

The others, who had been angry but dared not speak out against the violence in Longyuan, also agreed. Now was the time to take advantage of the other party's downfall and completely isolate them!

Seeing this, Kinta Satoru, the best student in Class C, remained expressionless. In his opinion, Ryuen was not entirely heinous; at least his ambition and never-give-up spirit were commendable.

But this tyrant never won a single time, and it's true that he was incompetent in dealing with foreign powers and repeatedly caused additional losses to Class C.

In this way, the class had no choice but to change direction, attach itself to the stronger party, and choose a better path.

His gaze inexplicably drifted towards Class A. After Shiina Hiyori left, he was probably the most valuable person among the remaining students in the class.

"And then there's the second place in this exam," Hoshinomiya Chie continued, ignoring the thoughts of the Class C students, "Class B, who scored a total of 528 points."

This is another score that has caused a sensation. You should know that since the beginning of the school year, the remaining classes in Class D have only scored 567 points.

"270 temporary points, plus 208 stronghold points, and finally the 50 points for guessing the leader, the previous calculation was indeed correct."

Katsuragi Kohei nodded, and the other members of Class B also smiled. As agreed, Aragaki Shun would only take 250 points, leaving them with a full 278 points to use freely.

They cried. As the original Class A, who were initially considered the best by the school but repeatedly failed after entering the school, this was the first time they had achieved such great results.

"This is all thanks to Lord Koenji. If it weren't for his tireless efforts in capturing the stronghold, we wouldn't have had the chance to get this score."

Seizing the opportunity, Hashimoto Masayoshi immediately jumped out to flatter him.

He was miserable; the little princess had abandoned her class and faction and run away, leaving him to bear the heavy responsibility for the rumors that had caused Class B to suffer. If he didn't find a way to get close to the heir of a wealthy family, he felt that he would eventually become a victim of dropping out of school.

"Your Highness's beauty and strength are unparalleled in the world. This is just a small test. In the future, you will surely lead us back to the throne of the strongest."

Class B members: "......"

Oh well, that's just how Hashimoto is. When she was serving Sakayanagi, didn't she call her "little princess" too? I'm used to it.

Koenji smiled. There were plenty of people in the world who fawned over him, but shamelessness like Hashimoto was rare.

Well, he does need a lackey to get things done in Class B.

In this competition, I was actually the loser, which is really not a pleasant thing at all.

“Then we should be able to determine Class A’s score,” Katsuragi said, ignoring Hashimoto’s antics. “With 40 bases, if we complete all 19 rounds, we can get a total of 760 points. My class gets 208 of them, Class C gets 140, so Class A’s base score should be 412.”

It's really exaggerated that their base points alone are close to Class C's total score.

Sure enough, the next moment, Hoshinomiya Chie immediately announced Class A's score with great enthusiasm—

"Finally, we have Class A, who deservedly came in first place. Congratulations to them for achieving a total of 762 points!"

"Everyone can clap or cheer and celebrate the successful conclusion of this exam!"

"Oh—! We won again!!!"

The students of Class A gave them a big shout, and some, like Shibata Hayate, were so excited that they jumped up and down.

They all knew that thanks to Shun Aragaki's efforts, Class A's temporary points had been preserved, and their final results would definitely be good. But when they heard the huge number, they were still overjoyed.

"300 temporary points, 50 points for guessing the leader, plus 412 stronghold points, for a total of 762 points. This operation was a complete success."

Ryuji Kanzaki smiled as he calculated the score composition. Even he hadn't expected Class A to gain so much from just the first special exam.

More importantly, with the release of the test results on the uninhabited island, the evaluation scores of the four first-grade classes were completely transformed.

Class A (Aragaki Class) 1360 points → 2122

Class B (Ge Cheng Class) score: 1130 → 1658

Class C (Longyuan Class) 588 points → 1028

Class D (Karuizawa Class) 567 points → 567 points

Apart from Class D, which showed no improvement, even Class C, which had lost its influence at Longyuan, had a class evaluation score of over 1000, higher than when they first entered Advanced Education.

The class evaluation score of Class A exceeded 2000, which means that each student in the class will have more than 20 personal points per month.

"I wonder what the school's higher-ups are thinking now?"

Shun Aragaki chuckled and raised an eyebrow. "Such a high score shouldn't normally be placed in a special exam."

With a total score of 1730, theoretically, it could be divided into four or five special exams.

If the school were to be even more stingy, it could simply not give any points at all, allowing the four first-grade classes to steal evaluation points from each other's rival classes.

The most cost-effective way would be to set up an exam where the winners gain little and the losers lose many points, thus causing the overall evaluation score of the first graders to drop.

In short, the outcome of this exam will inevitably disrupt the original plans for advanced training.

Aragaki Shun had previously speculated that there would be a second special exam on the cruise ship, but now it's hard to say.

"No matter what, I'll definitely get all the points I can. As for the school's thoughts... let them worry about it themselves, haha!!"

Kanzaki thought about it for a moment, then shook his head dismissively. In any case, whether or not there was a second special exam, Class A had already made a fortune.

Then, caught up in the atmosphere, this usually rational class fund administrator joined in the cheering along with the rest of Class A.

Hoshinomiya chuckled and said, "The exam results are now announced. Everyone is free to do as they please."

"But remember that the boat will depart in two hours, so if anyone wants to play in the sea, be sure not to miss the time."

.........

Meanwhile, while Class A of Grade 1 was still basking in the joy of victory, the school, having also learned of the exam results, was caught in a dilemma.

Just as Shun Aragaki had predicted, the results of the exam were completely unexpected by Advanced Nurturing, with the exaggerated scores far exceeding the school's planned budget.

In other words, even if the budget for the next special exam is included, it would theoretically be difficult to fill this huge hole.

So some people suggested that the second exam, which was to be held on the cruise ship, should be canceled, or that the reward and punishment rules for this exam should be changed to reduce the overall class evaluation score for the first grade.

Decisions in this regard are usually made by the chairman of the board, but at the beginning of this year's freshmen enrollment, Sakayanagi Shigemori was stripped of the power to interfere with the special examinations for the first-year students.

So he simply called over Director Kanda. Since he was going to leave the school next month and hand over the chairmanship to him in his place, it was normal for him to take care of the related work in advance.

"Take a look. Because of what that kid from the Aragaki family did, the school's budget for first graders is now insufficient, and some people have even suggested canceling the next preferential treatment exam."

Chairman Sakayanagi handed over the relevant materials for the uninhabited island exam, watching with great interest the frown on his old friend's face.

Class A will gain 762 points, which means that starting from the next semester, the 43 students will gain 76200 personal points every month for 31 months.

Adding the 528 points from Class B and the 440 points from Class C, the total personal points required for this single exam on the deserted island to achieve advanced training amounted to a staggering 220 million.

It's no wonder that a significant number of faculty members hope the school will take action to reduce the overall evaluation for first-year students.

After all, the first semester has just ended, and this year's freshmen have already extracted so much funding from the school. Is the university treating Advanced Education like an ATM?

"Phew~ As expected of the successor chosen by Aragaki-sensei, he was able to grasp the overall situation of the grade before the first special exam, forcing the other three classes to submit to his arrangements."

"Among the highly trained talents of all generations, is there anyone who can lead the class to an absolute victory so quickly?"

"No!" Sakayanagi Shigemori answered without even thinking. "The third-year student council president, Horikita Manabu, is known as the strongest student council president in history, but he still hasn't been able to get Class 3-B to give up the competition."

"Nan Yunya, a second-year student, has almost completely integrated the entire grade, but it took him at least three semesters to accomplish this feat."

When Nagumo Masaru was mentioned, Chairman Sakayanagi narrowed his eyes, thoughtfully reminding his friend who was about to succeed him.

"Kanda, don't you think the situation for second-year students is a little too similar to that for first-year students?"

190. The Council's Plans; The Beginning of Grade-Level Infighting

"Kanda, don't you think the situation for second-year students is a little too similar to that for first-year students?"

"Class A has an absolute advantage, Class B is struggling, and Classes C and D have become appendages of the leader of Class A... The internal competition between these two grades seems to have come to an end ahead of schedule. Continuing will only give the representatives of those two grades the opportunity to fleece the school."

The leader of Class 2-A, Nan Yunya, has always followed a policy of making the entire second grade submit to him by constantly dropping out his competitors.

From then on, he was able to coordinate the four classes to cooperate in special exams, thereby maximizing the benefits of the exams.

In other words, the class competition in the second year has completely lost its meaning. No one dares to defy Nan Yunya's decision. The special exam is no longer a stage for the four classes to compete against each other. Instead, under Nan Yunya's leadership, everyone shares the individual points and class evaluation scores issued by the school.

This behavior completely treats the school like a sucker, leaving the faculty members who designed the special exam for second grade speechless.

Because my design is completely meaningless!

"The school already has Nangumo Masaru, which is a headache, and now there's Shinigaki Shun who has completed integration even faster. These two batches of students are really hard to manage."

Chairman Sakayanagi shook his head and turned his gaze back to the materials for this uninhabited island exam.

According to the analysis of the faculty members above, the final score of 1730 is actually not the theoretical maximum score.

If it weren't for one student from Class B being absent and another from Class C withdrawing from the competition, and if we had followed Aragaki Shun's plan exactly, the first-year students' total score could have increased by another 80 points.

In other words, the highest score the four classes could get by colluding to exploit the school's resources is actually 1810.

This is only the first special exam for first graders. If they keep doing this every time, the school will really have to cut its budget and become a stingy person who only deducts points and doesn't reward anyone.

"But isn't that also a manifestation of strength?"

Director Kanda chuckled. He wasn't as troubled as Sakayanagi Narimori; he preferred to let things take their course.

"The fact that they were able to lead Class A to completely suppress the three lower-ranked classes working together, and even to unify them, whether the real reason was that the former were too strong or the latter three were too weak, has already proven the strength of those two."

"We can't just deliberately abandon the stronger class and insist on helping the other three classes graduate from Class A, can we?"

Of course, that kind of thing can't happen!

Advanced training high school emphasizes merit above all else, and the fact that it can be united by the leaders of other classes only proves that the gap in strength between the two sides is ridiculously large.

The school's goal is to discover students' potential through class competition and then promote the strongest Class A as a political achievement.

While Nagumo Masaru and Aragaki Shun's actions may have undermined the significance of the special exam to some extent, their ability to complete the grade-level integration already demonstrated the overall strength of their class and further highlighted the incompetence of the other three lower-ranked classes to the school authorities.

In this situation, would the school really want to deliberately expel the grade leader who could unite the three incompetent classes?

I'm sorry to say, but it turns out that the merged classes don't have this value at all, and doing so would be a completely unprofitable business.

"Just consider it as the class competition being decided early. It's normal when there's a huge disparity in strength."

Inviting people to meals, beheading them, taking them in as dogs... these are common tactics used when different forces are at odds.

For the competition between classes to continue, the four classes must be relatively evenly matched in strength. Otherwise, it is inevitable that the stronger class will merge with the weaker one, eventually leading to a monopoly.

"If there are concerns that the students in the first and second years will not have been trained in a sufficiently competitive environment after graduation and will not be as good as the previous A-class students, then I suggest changing the special exams for these two grades from team-oriented to individual-oriented, adding more personal challenges."

In other words, in special exams, individual hard skills are rigorously tested, to the point that even if four classes joined forces, it would be meaningless.

For midterm and final exams, a passing score can be set directly instead of dividing the average score by two, and there's no need to prepare past exam questions.

So even if someone manages the entire grade, what good will it do? Students with poor grades will still fail.

Sakayanagi Narimori paused, and after a moment's thought, he had to admit that what Director Kanda said made sense.

The current situation in the first grade only proves that Class A's overall strength overwhelmingly surpasses that of the other three classes.

To be honest, this must have been a mistake made by the school when they initially assigned classes.

In previous years, to ensure the competitiveness of the lower-ranked classes, some suitable seeds would be specially assigned to them so that the strength assessments of the four classes would be similar.
